> If it's really important, or involves very sensitive personal information, I'm not doing it on the web.

It's definitely a position you can take, but that's a very minority position among web users these days.

For the rest of us, "Just stop doing it on the web" would be a pretty substantial lifestyle change and, practically speaking, not worth it.

I never claimed it was a majority position. I was only expressing my own stance. Whether or not anyone else shares it with me is irrelevant.

It really isn't, though, at least not for most people I know who aren't into tech. It would certainly mean changing some habits, which is often hard, but (at least in the US) it means giving up a relatively small amount of convenience, not a substantial lifestyle change.
